--SOVEREIGN OR NOT?~
--"The LORD has established His throne in the heavens, and His sovereignty rules over all." --[PSALM 103:19] 
---YOU WILL NOT make wise decisions unless you wholeheartedly believe one basic, theological fact--the truth that God is absolutely sovereign. That He is indeed God and that He rules over all things, at all times, in all circumstances. Why is this important? Because it will make all the difference as to whether you obey Him or not.For example, take David (1 Samuel 17). When he was a young man, the champion of the Philistines, Goliath, challenged the bravest of Israel's soldiers to a duel. Sadly, Israel's warriors were all terrified of the mighty Goliath.. That is, all except David--who understood that the battle wasn't about human strength, but about the divine power of God. David was able to triumph over Goliath because he was confident that the Lord was sovereign--and that He didn't like His name being taken in vain. Likewise, God may direct you in ways that seem absolutely impossible or that you don't understand. Ask yourself: is He the omnipotent, omniscient God or isn't He? Answer that question and you'll have the confidence to do as He asks. ~~ --"Lord, You are God! You deserve both my respect and trust. Help me always to obey You. Lead me on Your everlasting path, in Jesus Name. amen." --IN TOCH~
Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." [John 14:6]
